MEMBER AUDIT BUREAU OF CIRCULATION France wants the'indemnity withowt a rehabilitation of German economic power, whose rivalry would threaten France’s own industries. Iuet France ask herself how the United States could regain an indemnity loan to Germany, if Ger- man economic expansion were prohibited. In the end, France must take the bold course. German in- dustries must be encouraged to expand so that Ger- many ean pay her debts, If that means serious com- petition for France, then French industries must modernize themselves to meet the new rivalry. France cannot ask Europe to stand still for any pur- pose whatever. After all, man is just an animated bunch of SUBSCRIPTION RATES PAYABLE IN ADVANCE f Daily by carrier, per year.. $7.20 habits.

(Established 1873) GX “HOME TOWN STUFF” Blow your home town’s horn. Let your bugle be heard around the world. What would this town be if folks didn’t have something to say for it? The good effect is cumulative. If one says things loud enough and, often enough things will begin moving our town’s way. It has proved true in the past; it will prove doubly so now. Some towns excel in one thing. Some excel in others. All, it is safe to say, excel in some things. Play ’em up. Maybe it’s railway facilities, and that means convenience in shipping. Maybe it is schools. Parents are always on the lookout, when they move, for good schools. Maybe it is a pure water supply. Maybe your town excels in its san- itary arrangements. Maybe there’s cheap fuel to be had. Or water power. Or low tax rate. it may be a town of natural good habits. Or it| may boast of its excellent amusements. | Paved streets, efficient city administration, complete sewerage, a growing park system, ay boulevard plan, a civic center, the center of a farming community—why, just good people will give a tip to the friends of the town for some- thing to talk about. f The man who boosts his town is a good citizen. He need not brag—simply tell the truth. Tell folks why the old home town, with its row of shady trees, its up-to-the-minute homes, fine kept lawns and its sleepy Sunday morning church bell, is a fine place to live. It will interest them— and, if nothing else, it will result in yourself be- ing more happy and most contented. THE CHESTNUT The white pine has been saved from the threat- ening pine-tree: disease which originated in Siberia and was brought here from western Europe: But all hopé is abandoned of saving the American chestnut tree from the blight brought here from China. s Efforts to stop the spread of this bark disease have been given up. Scientists are warning owners to cut down even the chestnut trees which so far _ have escaped it. 5 Ten years ago the chestnuts exported in a single season from Virginia alone were worth $200,000. All chestnut products that year were valued at $20,000,000. The value of chestnut trees then stand- ing in this country was estimated at $400,000,000. Chestnut tree blight was not dangerous to the Oriental chestnut tree with which it was brought to this country. To the native species it was always fatal. No other plant disease has been so deadly. And all efforts to stop it spreading failed. The money value is not the only loss. The chest- nut tree has been a conspicuous and beautiful fea- ture of the lanscape in this country, and of special interest to every country: boy at the time of the first frost each fall. Schoolboys of the future wh6 read the poem of the village blacksmith will ask, ‘‘What is a chestnut tree?”’ and ‘‘What is a chestnut?” DOLLARS FOR GERMANY? France wants America to guarantee the payment of the German indemnity. French financiers are formulating a plan to float a series of German loans in the United States, to meet the allies’ war claims. There is no official support in Great Britain to this impossible idea. Sir Auckland Geddes, the British ambassador at Washington, recently announced that his country wants no financial help from America. That is because the British people have fully bal- anced their budget by a drastic increase in their al- ready unprecedentedly high tax burdens. Great Britain has refused to wait for German money to establish her solvency. But the Spartan determina- tion of the British to pay their own way has been rejected by France. The people of France refuse to wipe out their de- ficit by sternly imposed taxes. France demands Germany must balance the French budget. But, how? By transferring German credits to France.’ First, however, German credits must be established. So, France wishes America to underwrite the German indemnity, thus creating the most valuable eredits in the world. The scheme is financially sound because of Amer- ica’s wealth. But, it would not work ‘in practice. The American people will never subscribe to Ger- man bonds for any purpose. German-Americans would refuse to purchase such bonds for the bene- fit. of the victorious European nations. It can only be harmful to encourage this day- dreaming on the part of France. If France consents to an industrial revival in Germany, such as Great Britain and Italy favor, ways will eventuallly be found by the Germans to pay their indemnity. But, McAdoo probably figures that it is cheaper on the outside. The city landlord is hastening the town man back to the country by putting his back to the wall. < And so Harry Lauder is going into movies. His “Something in the Bottle” was suggestive of reels. e EDITORIAL REVIEW Comments reproduced in this column may or may not express the opinions of The Tribune.

WE'RE GOING TO WIN!” From all parts of the state come splendid re- ports of a revulsion of sentiment in the ranks of the Townley followers. The Scandinavian-American bank deal; the Valley City bank deal; the Consumers United Or Stores steal; the newspaper law, which has put many Home Town papers out of business; the unauditable $35,000,000 bank; the high taxes and the failure of the state’s financial institution to aid needy farmers—all have caused a revolt.

WHAT IS IT HIDIN If for no other reason than to find out what the Nonpartisan league administration is so eager to conceal in the Bank of North Dakota, it might pay the voters of the state to have a house- cleaning at Bismarck. The state auditor was refused permission to make an examination of the books of the Bank of North Dakota. Why? What transactions are on the books of the bank that Mr. Cathro and Governor Frazier would not like to have come under the eyes of the duly |: elected state official whose duty it is to examine the books of all state departments? What are they covering up? The only way the taxpayers will learn the real facts about the Bank of North Dakota will be to] clean house at the capitol and kick out the gang that now controls affairs there. To get a new bank examiner’s department, we must have a new governor. To find out if the state is still paying the room and board of Mr. Cathro, we will have -to get a new governor. How about that, Mr. Cathro? Is the state still paying for your meals and your lodging? on top of your $10,000 salary or are you feeding your- self now? ‘ The taxpayers have had $35,000,000 in the hands of a $10,000 banker who turns in expense accounts for his own meals when he is not entitled to them, and an ex-livery stable proprietor whose code of banking ethics was summed in his famous tadvice to “shoot it to the other league banks.” We don’t know whether that money is in sisal trust or farm loans. We only know it is harder than it ever was for farmers to get banking ac- commodations because this $35,000,000 has been removed from circulation and there is no way to get an independent audit unless we have a new governor.—Devils Lake World. The reason so many of the Townley pole-cats squeal about Kate O’Hare being required to serve out her sentence is, they are all in the same bed and are living in fear of some one pulling the covers off of them too.—Washburn Leader. Tribune! Dear Sir: You will note from the enclosures; that a special committee of the Na- tional Economic league has under- taken to draft a list of the most im- portant questions for present consid- eration concerning: education, and to secure, through a vote of the com- mittee and of the national council of the league, a consensus of both evpert and lay opinion on these ques- tions. 5 ‘I-feel sure that you will ibe glad to publish this material for the ben- efit of your readers, and to assist in directing attention to this most jim- portant question. Yours very truly, i Cc. L, YOUNG. The Communuication Follows A federal department of education, headed by a member of the presi- dent’s cabinet, is advocated by ninety percent of the members of a special committee of the National Hconomic league as oné of the best. means of promoting education in this country. One of the purposes of this depart- ment would ibe to. visit, advise and report upon the educational sys' of the United States so as to pro- mote unity in effort and ideals, and éfficiency in operation. Leading Educators The committee is made up of ing educators from all parts of the country. Among the members are vaul H. Hanus, professor of pedagogy at ‘Harvard University; David Starr Jordan, chancellor Emeritus of ‘Stan- ford University; Kenneth C. M. Sills, president of Bowdoin college; ‘Payson Smith, Massachusetts Commissioner of education; William T. Foster, pr dent of Reed college; and Robert L. Vinson, president of the University of Texas. The committee has prepared a list of eleven questions covering the most fundamental problems of immediate importance on the subject. Two of these deal with vocational education. The first: “Should vocational educa- tion be provided in all’ school sys- tems for pils fourteen years of age and olde is favored by 68 members of the committee and opposed by 12. The second: “Should all schools, whether avowedly vocational or not, aim to prepare. students for the prop- er use and enjoyment of their leisure in addition to training them for their responsibilities. as workers and as citizens?” is favored by all but two ot the 89 members who voted upon it. All but ten percent of the com- mittee agree that vocational guidance should be adopted in secondary schools and collegiate’ institutions. ‘About the same proportion believe that “the national government should provide aid, administered in such a way as to stimulate increased local expenditiure, for the education of the colored people in the southern states, particularly in rural communities.” Subject of Wages On the subject of wages, the ques- tion is asked: “Should there be tablished a minimum wage. not less than the wage of skilled artisans, for teachers. in public graded schools throughout the United States?” The Money back without question AP HUNT'S Salve fails in the treatment of ITCH, ECZEMA, RINGWORM, TETTER or Other itching skin diseases.

The greatest disagreement was on the proposal “for a’ federal commis- sion to study and recommend a sys- tem of moral and ethical training for schools”, This was supported by only 58 of the 3 members voting. AROUSES PROTEST editor Tribune: Please allow me space in. your paper to express my indignation at President Wilson’s action in pardon- ing Kate Richards O'Hare and to ask what his next move in that lino wili be. No doubt the pardoning of Eu- gene V. Debs and a hundred others equally guilty. This is only another addition to the overwhelming: proof out, dyed in the wool, socialist at heart, whether his acts. have always ‘been in that line or not. From President Wilson's point of view, it was no doubt for him to listen to the plea of our socialist governor rather than to that of the “brood sows” and the court’ who found Kate O'Hare guilty. It is no wonder that the punishment of spies. shows every indication of fading into nothingness. My own boy was on a train with the sons of “brood sows” going to the front in the world’s war, that was wrecked where dozens of them were ground tq death or crippled for life. . Ask him and hundreds of others who were on that train, who they ‘believe was to blame for the wreck and what’ they believe their intentions, were. And there is no record to be ob- tained of anyone being tried for the crime. ‘Look at the murders at Cen- tralia; and outraged people. punished the murderers, it was; not President Wilson. . ‘Look at the dastardly acts of spies, seditionists, I. W. W.’s and red radi- cal traitors from one end of this broad land to the other, carried on to a greater extent than was ever known before under any’ Givilizéd gov- ernment: And who ever paid the merited penalty for such work? A few who have spent their lives in such work and propaganda have been deported and now President Wilson turns loose others to take their places among us. ry In line with his present policy, he may be expected to permit those de- ported to return and continue their work. ‘We have heard and know, of many cases of President Wilson's acts in pardoning and interceding in behalf of acknowledged and regularly convicted criminals but we fail to recall any instance of his using his intluence to prevent the communica- tion of the sentence of such crim- inals. Under such a head it is no wonder the socialistic Bolsheviks of Europe consider the United States a fertile ground for their low down dis- graded propaganda. WM. DUDLEY, Box 386 Killdeer, ‘N. D.

EVERETT TRUE WEVE BEEN IT'S (ONLY THREE WALKING FIVE MRS. MORGAN Phone 758 222 3rd’ St. MORG STIRSTTS, ASTER TRUG. RIPROLIVES SAFET0 BAT ashington, June 3.—Ripe olives have ‘been: restored to favor. It is again safe to eat them, according to government experts. The appetizing delicacy which, ‘by reason of a few instances of imperfect packing, was brought into temporary disfavor all over the United States, has been offi- cially restored to its place at the table and epicures may breath a sigh of satisfaction. Incidentally, the ba- cillus botulinus, that tiny organism responsible for. the ripe olive’s unde- served loss of popularity, has ‘been utterly routed and destroyed and, henceforth, must seek other fields. ‘Secretary Meredith, of the Depart- ment of Agriculture, in making public the result of a thorough investiga- tion by government chemists of cases of poisoning due to the eating of ripe olives, said’ the trouble was not due to the containers in which they were packed but to isolated cases of inade- quate sterilization. The chemists found, he said, that it was possible to sterilize completely both glass and tin cans. To eliminate all possible future trouble, he said, the packers have adopted: the department’s recommend- ation that the olives be subjected to not less than 240 degrees of heat to prevent the possibility of danger to the consumer. This increased sterili- zation, it is said, in no way effects the flavor or edibility of the relish. Owing to prejudice, due to the pub- licity given cases of poisoning from eating ripe olives, according to the packers, the ripe olive industry has been practically destroyed, the de- mand having fallen off 95 percent. So widespread was this prejudice that the consumption of green olives was similarly reduced although no fatali- ties were traced to the use of them, It is believed that the action of the Department of Agriculture in discover ing that the cause of Poisoning was not ‘due to either tin cans or glass Jars, and! in uniting the packers in a coooperative movement to standard- ize their product by absolutely safe methods. of sterilization, will restore the olive industry to its former posi- tion in American trade.

Waen a Woman is envous—Wornieo The lives of most women are full of worry. Men’s troubles are enough, but women’s are worse. Worry makes women sick. It pulls them down, and in their weakened condition they are sub- ject to pains, aches, weakness, back- aches, headaches and dizzy spells. Most women neglect their health, and for this they pay the penalty. Any woman will find that neglect does not pay. A little more atten- tion to health would brighten up her life. If she asks her neighbors she finds that Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription benefits a woman’s whole system. It not only acts upon the troubles and weaknesses peculiar to women, but is an all- round tonic that braces the entire bod ye Overcoming nervousness, sleeplessness, headaches, dizziness and a run-down condition.
